Controlled Exports (CCL & USML)
Export control regulations protect the national security and foreign policy interests of the U.S. The Department of Commerce (DOC) and the Department of State (DOS) have primary responsibility for maintaining export controls. The DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is responsible for administering Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that control the export of “dual use” (commercial and military) items and purely commercial items. BIS controlled exports appear in the “Commerce Control List" (CCL). DOS controls the export of defense-related articles and services, which are listed in the United States Munitions List (USML) in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
